Grayson's First Christmas

Well, Grayson is almost three weeks old and we have officially celebrated our first Christmas with our new little family member. It was a little bit wierd. None of the running around due to Grayson's early arrival. Benji's parents and brother came over this morning, and we all exchanged gifts and enjoyed food and fellowship. They left to go on the regular trips to see family and we have just spent time together; Benji and I and our little man, when he is awake. We did bundle him up and go for a walk, and I felt like a new person. It was so nice to be outside. I have been living in my "cave" for several weeks now. We had a beautiful day and Grayson fell asleep quickly riding in his stroller.
Now we are watching the news and planning on eating junk food for the evening.
Jamie's husband is going to Franklin to see his family, and Jamie cannot travel right now, so we are hanging out tomorror night and Mom, Dad and Austin are coming on Saturday.
We have felt like Christmas has really been over shadowed by Grayson's arrival, but what better to overshadow it than the arrival of a baby?
It has really made us think about what this season is really about. The blessings of a child are too numerous to count, and we are so so thankful.
